Meribeth Elliott Cameron (May 22, 1905 in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada – July 12, 1997 in Holyoke, Massachusetts)[1] was an American historian of China and academic who served as the 14th (Acting) President of Mount Holyoke College from 1968-1969.

She was a professor of Chinese History at Mount Holyoke from 1948-1970. She served as Dean and briefly as Acting President in 1954 (during the period of President Ham) and 1966 (during the period of President Gettell).[2]

Academic training and career

Cameron graduated from Santa Monica High School in Santa Monica, California in 1921 and was awarded a B.A. from Stanford University in 1925 and an M.A. in 1926. While at Stanford she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and studied the history of East Asia. She took a M.A. degree in history at Radcliffe College in 1927, then returned to Stanford to finish her dissertation, "The Reform Movement in China, 1898-1912," for which she was awarded a Ph.D. in History and Political Science in 1928.[2]

She then taught at Reed College (1928-1934), Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University (1934-1937). She was Dean of the College and Professor of history at Milwaukee-Downer College (1941-1948), and in 1948 Academic Dean and Professor of history at Mount Holyoke College, where she remained until she retired in 1970.[2]

During these years she was a productive historian of China. She was one of the founding editors of Far Eastern Quarterly (later called The Journal of Asian Studies), of which she was book review editor 1941-1951. She contributed to the basic reference for Qing dynasty history, Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period (1943). Among her journal articles and books were The Reform Movement in China, 1898-1912 and a co-authored book, China, Japan and the Powers.[2]
